Figure 7From: Novelty and cultural evolution in modern popular musicRelative probability of a song being in the bottom 10th percentile for relative novelty change based on initial novelty scores. We see that the probability decreases as either score moves away from the value that provides the optimal degree of differentiation within its modality. Since the relative probability values are a summation of probability estimates of a generated data set, they are dependent on the total number of data points generated for our sample, and should not be treated as an absolute probability valueBack to article page
